In This Episode You Will Learn About: Operating without a plan The downside of superstition The importance of speaking what you want into life   Resources: ENTER TO WIN OUR $2,800 HOLIDAY SWEEPSTAKES!   Show Notes: Our life has been chaotic lately. So much has been changing that we’ve been afraid to talk about what we’ve been doing. We just sold our home – and we don’t even have a place to stay yet. We’re usually strong proponents of speaking things into life, so it was very odd that we wouldn’t want to talk about this before today. And maybe, just maybe, that’s why so many of our plans fell through in the first place. In this episode, we talk about manifesting, superstition, accountability, and more.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Recent trends in borrowing behavior  How to use financial urgency as your secret weapon Creating revenue streams to be abundant    Resources  Listen: Episode 535: Two Ways That We Always Create More Abundance Show Notes  I've noticed a trend with clients and people asking me about borrowing. Many are 6-7 figure entrepreneurs, so they're not borrowing from scarcity of resources; instead, there is an emotional impulse to feel more abundant. Now, there is no air-tight rule that fits all borrowing scenarios. Still, there is a distinct difference between borrowing to feel abundant versus consciously moving your assets to enable financial flexibility. You have to get brutally honest with yourself because, if your foot is off the gas, you're headed in a dangerous direction.  Follow me on social media @ChrisWHarder on Instagram and check out chrisharder.me.

Things aren’t always going to happen the way you expect them to, but with enough tenacity, grit, and determination, you can make them happen if you just keep pushing and keeping the faith.

Whether you are familiar with the term or not, most people forget to consider it when making financial decisions. And opportunity cost, when not considered, is silently sapping away at your financial future. The next time you go to make a decision, think about: what will I miss out on in the future by making this decision now? What will I gain in the future if I make this choice? Your financial future depends on you playing the long game. Don’t box yourself into a corner for some immediate benefit.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: The downside of being attached to permanency Asking “What’s the worst that could happen?” Changing direction when you’re going the wrong way   Resources: Visit fastfoundations.com or text “FAST” to 310-421-0416 to learn more about our mastermind program   Show Notes: One thing that’s holding you back is an attachment to permanency. Believing that you’re supposed to find a great job and stay with that company forever, or you find a partner and stay with them forever, or you plant roots and stay in the same city forever. When you’re not attached to permanency, you’re allowed to dabble, to experiment, to try new things and see if they are right for you. And it’s only through that experimentation that you find what works best for you.   Follow me on social media @ChrisWHarder on Instagram and check out chrisharder.me.
